Chalk Paint French Style Chest Drawers
I took an old but functional, tired chest of drawers and gave them a French look using Chalk Paint™.
This was my first project using Chalk Paint™ and I was surprised how easy it was to achieve this look. The great thing about using Chalk Paint™ is that you don't have to sand or seal. However, as this piece was quite old and had a very dark varnish, I did give it a coat of sealer first.
I have created a post at my blog which shows you step by step how you can achieve this look. I have added photographs each step of the way to help you. You can find a link at the end of this post.

The finished piece
The ugly before
I used several colours in creating this piece (details at the blog)
A little bit of distressing.
I lined the drawers with a pretty paper. Please hop over to the blog for step by step details and photos to help you achieve a similar look.

Very pleasing color. This could go in any room in the house...from the kitchen to the living room! I love pieces like this that take on a completely new purpose when redone! Great job!
